Keyboard: ↑ ↓ to move, space to tap or hold

How to play

  • Swipe up or down to switch lanes around pigeons, café chairs and delivery vans.
  • Tap at an old archway to slip through a traboule, Lyon’s hidden passages.
  • Hold on the cobbles to slow down and keep the croissants steady.
  • Pick up croissants and wave at the street sweeper in a row to build a combo.

A new route every morning

There is one daily route, the same streets for everyone. Ride it, find your place on today’s and this week’s leaderboard, and come back tomorrow for a new one. Free rides are unlimited.

Who is Sophie?

Sophie lives in Lyon and starts her day before the city wakes up. Every ride ends at the bakery, where Madame Ferrand gives her verdict, and Sophie saves one croissant for you. You can visit Sophie to see the rest of her day.

Phone, tablet or computer

One thumb on a phone, the arrow keys and space bar on a keyboard. After your first visit it keeps working when the connection drops.
